Costco Recalls 2025: Products You Should Know About Flagged for Safety Concerns

Keeping household safe is a top priority for everyone, and staying informed about product recalls is a key part which can't be overlooked.

This year Costco has issued recalls on various items due to safety concerns. To help navigate these alerts, a clear guide has been compiled about the products flagged in 2025.

Costco shoppers should check their purchases for any recent recall notices. The well-known retailer has identified nearly a dozen items from various suppliers that have been recalled in the past few months.

These products vary, encompassing everything from power banks to window air conditioners, with some carrying an immediate 'stop use' warning for consumers.

A considerable number of these items were available through Costco Next, a special programme allowing members to buy directly from specific brands at Costco's competitive prices. Other recalled products were sold directly through Costco warehouses. Customers need to understand the procedures for recalls and returns at Costco.

Where to Find Recall Information

To find Costco's most up-to-date recalls, you can visit the 'Recalls & Product Notices' section on their official website. Details on previous recalls are also available there in an online archive.

Consumers can also find additional recall information from various retailers and manufacturers by visiting the websites of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, the US Food & Drug Administration, the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

These sites offer searchable databases for added convenience. Furthermore, the CPSC, FDA, and USDA present their recall lists in reverse chronological order. USA TODAY also keeps a database of recalled items.

How Long Does It Take to Return an Item at Costco?

Costco generally accepts most returns with no specific time limits, though there are a few exceptions to this policy. A 90-day return window applies to electronics.

• Cigarettes and alcohol cannot be returned to locations where they are prohibited by law.
• Items such as airline and live performance event tickets, precious metals, Shop Cards, and gift cards are non-returnable.
• Diamonds exceeding 1.00 carat require all original documentation for returns and will undergo authentication.
• Products with a limited lifespan, such as tyres and batteries, may come with specific, limited warranties.
• Custom-made products ordered through the Special Order Kiosk and Custom Installed Programs are not eligible for returns or refunds, 'except for warranty repair/replacement due to failure to meet specifications.'

It's important to note that recalls are handled separately from standard returns.

Consumers should refer to specific recall notices for instructions on what to do with affected items.
